Persistent unfaithfulness brings God’s wrath.

“The word of the Lord came again to me, saying: “Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it;” Ezekiel 14:12

The Jewish nation has been persistently unfaithful to God, and we see His hand stretched out against the State of Israel today. Their unfaithfulness comes by rejecting Jesus Christ as their Messiah, Lord, and Savior. The hand of God against them is obvious when realizing that Israel has been in 18 wars since they were established in 1948. There was even a war in 1948. Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

2000 years ago, the Jewish nation refused to humble themselves by becoming Christians. Instead, they exalted the Jewish culture over Jesus Christ. The result was the establishment of the Jewish nation called the State of Israel. If they would have accepted Jesus, they would be Christian and not Jewish. Through Jesus Christ, the State of Israel would not exist because Christians have no nation on this earth to call our own. Our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. Because the Jewish people rebelled against the will of God, God’s hand is stretched out against them today.

Today, the world government of the beast and its global culture persistently come against God. They deny Him as Creator, they discard the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and they oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. They follow the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The hand of God is stretched out against this world system. Global warming is already in the world as the Fourth Plague in Revelation 16:8-9. Global warming is instrumental in bringing the destruction of the power center of the beast, as mentioned in the Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11. At that time, the world government of the beast and its global culture will be rendered powerless. That global loss of power leads to the Battle of Armageddon as mentioned in the Sixth Plague in Revelation 16:12-16. The Day of the Lord arrives, and Jesus Christ returns.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
